Sponsor Pitch · March 2026

Unmai

The AI-powered news verification social network.
Because in 2026, you can't believe everything you see.

Seeking project sponsors to bring this to market

The Problem

The internet is broken.
We can no longer tell what's real.

500K

Deepfake videos posted online in 2023 — doubled in 2024

85%

Of people are concerned about fake news

3%

Actually fact-check before sharing

$25M

Lost in a single deepfake audio fraud case in 2024

Why This Matters Now

"AI-generated fake images influenced elections in Slovakia, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and the United States — all in a single year."

— Documented incidents, 2024

The quality of AI-generated synthetic media crossed the human perception threshold in 2024. Ordinary people can no longer reliably tell what is real. This is not a future problem. It is happening right now.

Competitive Landscape

Every existing solution fails consumers.

Solution	Who Uses It	Why It Fails	Status
Snopes / PolitiFact	Researchers	Takes days, perceived as biased, can't scale	Broken
Meta "Made with AI"	Facebook users	Easily bypassed, applied after content goes viral	Insufficient
NewsGuard	Enterprises	$50K+ contracts, no AI detection, no social layer	B2B only
Reality Defender	Enterprises	Enterprise pricing, no consumer product	B2B only
Twitter Community Notes	X users	Gameable, slow, no AI, no credibility scoring	Broken

The gap: No consumer product combines real-time AI detection + community trust + social feed. That's Unmai.

The Solution

Unmai is the first verified social network.

🔍Every post is automatically scored for AI-generated content

📡Claims cross-referenced against 800+ trusted news sources in real time

🤝Community trust signals from your real network

📊Source credibility scores — track records, not opinions

🚫We never say "FAKE" — we show evidence, users decide
